Dark & Stormy Productions to Present THE RECEPTIONIST at Artspace, 12/11-1/4

Dark & Stormy Productions today announces that they are partnering with Artspace to present their upcoming regional premiere of The Receptionist by Adam Bock, directed by Benjamin McGovern, and starring Sally Wingert, Bill McCallum, Sara Marsh, and Harry Waters, Jr. Previously, Dark & Stormy presented Outside Providence by Edward Allan Baker at The Engine Room, and Speed-the-Plow by David Mamet at The Miller Bag Building.

The Traffic Zone Center for Visual Art is owned and operated by Artspace in partnership with the artists who maintain studios in the building. The downtown Minneapolis Warehouse District location is accessible to all patrons by bus, light rail, and car. Dark & Stormy continues their use of unusual stagings in nontraditional "found" spaces that best serve the production, by setting The Receptionist in an office space on the fifth floor of Artspace's Traffic Zone Center for Visual Art building.

Artspace's mission is, "to create, foster, and preserve affordable space for artists and arts organizations." Established in 1979, Artspace owns and operates both residential and non-residential properties in more than 20 states across the nation, providing affordable, real property to low- and moderate-income artists to further the growth of the artistic community. Based in the Twin Cities, Artspace has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, and Washington DC, impacting artists on both a local and national level.

Dark & Stormy Productions' Artistic Director Sara Marsh says, "With their mission and incredible commitment and contributions to both the artistic community and to individual artists, Artspace is a perfect partner for Dark & Stormy as we present the regional premiere of The Receptionist. I couldn't be more thrilled to be working with them, and I am excited to give audiences the unique, immersive, and immediate experience that performing in the Artspace office space will provide.'

The Receptionist by Adam Bock, running Wednesday, December 11, 2013 - Saturday, January 4, 2014, is Dark & Stormy's third production. Dark & Stormy is proud to present the regional premiere.
